Bards of the College of Revolution seek to break the mold and inspire others through their groundbreaking ideas. They try to free others of their servitude and bonds, giving hope to the underdogs and the oppressed. These bards oftentimes amass a number of followers, sharing the same views and leading them to shake the status quo together.

Start the Fire

When you join this college at level 3, you become adept at motivating others to stop obeying their masters. You have advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks made to persuade a creature to stop obeying orders that they have been given. Inspired by your words, the creature may also be inclined to persuade others in this way, and it also has advantage on any Charisma (Persuasion) checks made to do so.

Turn the Tide

Also at level 3, you teach others to bite back. A creature that has a Bardic Inspiration die from you can expend that die when they hit a creature that has damaged them since the end of their last turn, dealing an extra 1d6 damage to it.

The extra damage increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 2d6 at level 6, 3d6 at level 12, and 4d6 at level 16.

Break Your Chains

Starting at level 6, your words of inspiration are potent enough to stop almost any controlling intent. A creature under the effects of your Countercharm also has advantage on saving throws against being affected by the Blinded, Deafened, Paralyzed, Restrained, or Stunned conditions.

Praxis of Freedom

When you reach level 14, your words can inspire any slave to turn against their master. As an action, you can give a brief inspirational speech. Every creature within 30 feet of you that can hear you and is either friendly toward you or persuaded by the Start the Fire feature can then use their reaction to move up to their speed and attempt to make an attack towards a creature that they are hostile to or that has given them orders in the last 24 hours.

Once you've used this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
